I've just logged into cPanel to find that I've got unlimited space. Has there been a major upgrade or something? I'm only meant to have 150MB.
I couldn't find any news about it or anything, so I was just wondering if this is a mistake.
I'm gonna kick myself for turning down unlimited space, but oh well...

BTW, for some reason, my bandwidth is the same though.

No, you have only 150MB of disk space. The disk usage function on cPanel has a bug in it that from time to time shows the incorrect disk space allocation numbers.

cPanel is an account managemnet script that is widely used by internet hosting providers. Gennerally considered to be a very good management system, it does have a few minor bugs.

Additionally, cPanel does not check actual usage and allocation very frequently. Its actaully refreshed somewhere between 24 and 48 hours. The statistics are not refreshed in real-time because of the burden it would place on the server. If the usage and allocation were checked every hour, with all of the hosting accounts we have here, the server would simply be too busy refreshing quota information to serve web pages. We assume that you prefer to have your website served instead of up to the minute information about your account.

I recommend that you maintain a disk usage below your allocated amount. If you are over when the statistics are updated, you'll be warned about exceeding your disk quota. If you continually abuse your disk quota, you account may be suspended.
Hope this clears things up. cool.gif

Yes, I don't know what was going on there, or if you just read the cpanel wrong, you have unlimited subdomains and mysql databases but not unlimited space. With everything you could do with all that space, you'd drive AstaHost broke. Check again, there must have been a mistake.

How do I know how much space I've used up now?
Rather than saying xMB/Unlimited or whatever, it simply says "Unlimited Space" so I have no idea how much space I've used.
I've tried the Disk Usage Viewer (next to the File Manager, under Site Management Tools), but it just shows the amount each folder uses, not the total. Any ideas?
Also, when will this bug revert to normal? Will I be stuck being told I have unlimited space forever, or will it eventually go back to showing the correct amount?
